3 weeks post op feel like crap so I'm sitting here in the er waiting for some test results. I'm dehydrated because I couldn't even keep water down and I'm in pain which I'm waiting to hear something about! I think I have a case of "wth did I do to myself!"

Thank you. I'm going back to the er. I'm in a lot of lower stomach pain and I threw up and there was a little blood this time. Not what I wanted to see but something's gotta be going on!

I was admitted to the hospital. They said my potassium is low and that's all they can figure out. So im getting 4 bags of that and dilaudid for the pain.

That sucks. I'm so sorry. Hope you recuperate quickly.

Sending good vibes your way.

My doc put me on an anacid perscription when I left the hospital. I believe she does that on a regular basis for at least 6 months for patients because they want to make sure an ulcer doesn't start up while healing. I hope you're feeling better and the meds help!

My surgeon did the same thing - Prevacid. Apparently works like a charm because I haven't had any problems! You have to let it dissolve on your tongue and if you can believe it, it even tastes good! LOL

I wish it worked for me I think it will work but I'm having some other issues as well.

We're here for you jessamarie and it will get better!! Keep your spirits up and you'll be back to smooth sailing before you know it!!

A little update: I'm staying over night. Im really dehydrated and still can't drink on my own. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! I'm also getting potassium and some vitamins threw my IV

Thanks mami! As an update: I spent a not so restful night here. I have had a thousand blood tests done and one of the girls bruised my left arm so they can't take blood from there, they tried my hand which was horrible because they couldn't get blood out even when they finally found the vain, so I've been getting finger pricks for my blood test. I wish they would just take it from the IV! They said my potassium is back to normal so that's a good start! I'm still really dehydrated so I might not go home today either :/ they also said it doesn't have anything to do with my surgery itself (no blockage or twists or rips) they think i was around someone sick and got a virus and it just took me down fast, or at my work they were waxing the floors and the fumes were horrible. So I could have gotten sick from that. I'm still on my nasuea medication (every 6 hours) and I have been getting pain medication about every 7 hours or so (it's been lasting a long time thank god cuz it hurts) I think my body is just sensitive to everything going on. Thank you all for you well wishes! I appreciate it so much and it really keeps me going.

I got food poisoning (or so they figured) and ended up in the same boat as you. I was super dehydrated after an entire week of diarrhea! I spent the day in the ER but was not admitted. My arms were so bruised up it looked like I was in a car accident! People were shocked when they saw them.

I hope they figure out what's going on and you feel better soon!

Glad your feeling better.

Thanks ladies yeah I finally am

Starting to feel like myself! Unfortunately not good enough to get out of the hospital but I'm getting closer! When I get out of here I'm going to have water bottles attached to my ass so I don't get dehydrated ever again!

And I'm staying away from floor waxing fumes lol

Glad you're feeling better!

Thanks Jen!
